G G G G
[Verse 1]
G I saw a Berkley woman C G Sittin' in her rockin' chair G A dulcimer in her lap D7 A feather in her hair G Her breasts swayed freely C G With the rhythm of the rockin' chair C G She was a-sittin' and a-singin' and a-swayin' D7 G Her cheeks were red I declare
[Interlude]
G
[Verse 2]
G Twas hard to believe C G What my eyes showed me then G The colour in her cheeks D7 Was just her natural skin G She wore no makeup C G To make her look that way C G She was a natural mama with the red cheeks D7 G What more can I say
[Interlude]
G
[Verse 3]
G Well I finally realised C G There was hunger in my stare G In my mind I was swayin' D7 With the woman in the rockin' chair G But the lady I was livin' with C G Was standin' right by my side C G She saw my stare and she saw my hunger D7 G And Lord it made her cry
[Interlude]
G
[Verse 4]
G So with anger on her face C G Yes and the hurt in her eyes G She scratched me and she clawed me D7 She screamed and she cried G "Oh you don't give me near C G All the lovin' that you should C G Yet you're ready to go and lay with her D7 G You're just no damn good?
[Interlude]
G
[Verse 5]
G Well I guess she's probably right C G Oh I guess I'm probably wrong G I guess she's not too far away D7 She hasn't been gone very long G And I guess we could get together C G And try this one more time C G But I know that wanderlust would come again D7 G She'd only wind up a-cryin'
[Interlude]
G
[Verse 6]
G Well now you've heard my story C G Plain as the light of day G It's hard to feel guilty for lovin' the ladies D7 That's all I gotta say G 'Cept a woman is the sweetest fruit C G That God ever put on the vine C G I'd no more love just one kinda woman D7 G Than drink only one kinda wine
